As soon as I read about the release of Avant Window Navigator 0.3.2 on tuxmachines, I decided to install it on my Ubuntu 8.10 from the Awn Core PPA repos. The latest Awn 0.3.2 has seen a few applets been removed, one of them being the good old AWN main menu. This is a quick guide to add the AWN main menu applet in AWN 0.3.2.

2. Open the debian file with any archive manager. It will have a file named data.tar.gz or something. Open that file and browse to "/./usr/lib/awn/applets/" directory where you will find "main-menu" directory. Extract the "main-menu" directory to "/usr/lib/awn/applets/".

3. Almost done! All you need to do now is create a .desktop file.sudo gedit /usr/share/avant-window-navigator/applets/awnmenu.desktopPaste the following in the file and save it.

[Desktop Entry]Type=ApplicationX-AWN-AppletType=CName=Awn Main MenuComment=Avant's System MenuExec=/usr/lib/awn/applets/main-menu/main-menu.soIcon=gnome-main-menuX-AWN-AppletCategory=UtilityX-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=awn-extras-appletsThat's it !! You are done !!! Just restart AWN and add the applet from the list.
